HTML converter for the German computer magazine c’t
The c’t is a German computer magazine, published by Heise. For many years they offer a edition of the c’t for visual impaired readers for free. But the articles are only available in plain text. Therefore it’s not very comfortable to find and open an interesting article when coming from the table of contents. To simplify that, I wrote a small script, which creates a HTML table of contents with links to every article. You can find it here.
